As a matter of fact, it drove me to go out and find his book (Armed Madhouse), of which I've read about 85% by now. It kicks serious ass. Thanks, Alex!

His new book also lines out what he calls the upcoming assassination of Chavez. Check out SoonerThought Podcast for more on this.

Chavez is not a threat to the average US citizen but he does threaten to cut into the profits of US big oil. I personally drive out of my way to fill up at a Citgo station. It usuallly is a few cents cheaper too. Chavez also started a reduced heating oil program to help low income people here in the northeast. That makes US oil companies look bad (which they are) and makes people wonder why "our" oil companies can't do the same. Brian Yeah, look for continued demonization of Chavez from th US media.
